Conclusion
'This book is sure to be regarded as indispensable to students of
German history. It has much to offer scholars in other fields as
well, particularly those concerned with the genesis of modern
nationalism ... Sheehan's book is a kind of summing-up of the work
of his own scholarly generation. His colleagues could hardly ask
for a more worthy tribute.'
Daniel Moran, University of Northern Colorado, The International
History Review
`German History 1770-1866 leads the reader on a remarkable journey
through the social, cultural and political history of the people of
the German nation.'
The European Studies Journal, Volume IX, Number 1, Spring 1992
'Every historian worth his salt should strive to produce such a
book. Its length is its most immediately striking characteristic:
969 pages.'
Panikos Panayi, History Today
